Those two guys are pretty impressive. You talk about Verlander: Cy Young, MVP. He's really good, look at history ... And then you look at Yu Darvish. Last year, he was really good, and this year, he's a lot smarter. And I definitely think that Yu Darvish has some of the nastiest stuff in the game. So it's going to boil down to who executes the right way, fundamentally sound baseball, and it's going to be not too many runs scored in that game.

In the last start of the ’76 year, when I won the Cy Young Award, I snapped that nerve in my arm. Once I did that, I had to rehab through that. It was a question of whether that nerve was going to regenerate, because I couldn’t fix it. How you are mentally (is important), then another thing is how you are physically in that scenario. I just kind of got bamboozled by the injury.More quotes »
